Horowl (#2d) Mayor'S Proclamation
Teresa coynerl Every so often a really good idea will occur and I
think that the six co-op principles on which the equitable
pioneers founded their business 150 years ago was such a set
of good ideas. Certainly people everywhere have picked them up
and used them. What's neat now is we see in Iowa City the new
pioneer Co-op making use meeting a need that that the
community otherwise was not being met through the co-op
method. We took our name in fact from the original Equitable
pioneers and called ourselves the New pioneers so we feel a
good link and invite everyone to come visit our store where we
have various literature available about the co-op history and
we'll have a book signing by a co-op historian on Oct 28 in
the story from 4:30-5:30 so we invite everybody to visit the
New pioneer on Co-op month.
Horowl Thank you,
, .~

MENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1916 WATERFRONT DRIVE, IOWA
CITY, IOWA.
:;):.1
Comment: This subordination agreement is required because of a
timing error in the recording of liens. The City's rehabilitation loan
of $20,936.65 was supposed to be recorded after the Credit
Union loan of $345,600. The appraised value of the property is
$500,000, which secures both loans.

Horow/ (#4) Public Discussion
These are for items not on the agenda, We ask that you
approach council. Sign in. take not more than five minutes and
make sure that you sign in and address council.
Harold Engen/ senior Center commission, This won't take me very
long. I am the Vice Chairman of the Commission for the Senior
Center, I have two or three items I want to present to you.
The first one is I will give you a copy of this and we are
very proud of the fact that in this national magazine of New
Choices For Retirement Living, Iowa City was one of nine
cities selected in the United States and I am very proud of
that. Particularly at budget time, It is just fall and
everything is going so well. Let me just read a couple of
things here and then I will-Why don't I just pass this out. It
opens with there are three paragraphs and then it describes
each of the college towns and communities and one said-it
described two of the citizens of Iowa City who are in the
Senior Center television group and they interviewed them and
one of the quotes they said is they have traveled throughout
the world and found their ideal home in Iowa city. A small
but cosmopolitan community that welcomes retirees. People
here have an interest in seniors and you are respected, And
I think that says a lot for you, for the contributions you
have made to the Senior Center and then it goes on a describes
one of the reasons that they selected Iowa city is because it
is a rich harvest for writers and musicians, because of our
Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa, The other thing
that I wanted to point out to you is that you are all familiar
with our last month when we had WWII. I think it was a very
very important contribution that the Senior Center made and
the First National Bank and others. We are now moving forward
on growing younger and feeling better, Seniors On The Move.
And the goal is to increase the span of healthy life for
seniors, mentally, physically, through education, activity and
that is what we are doing at the Senior Center and we have a
variety of different things that are happening, You know in
the year 2000 people over 65 will constitute 13% of our
population and I think through this national magazine
featuring us as a rich cultural center we are going to attract
some seniors that possibly would like to live in a community
like this and a nice thing about it is they will come in and
buy property and that sort of thing but they won't contribute
many children to the school and so the taxes will be going for
that. But I wanted to bring this up and have you aware of
that. The other thing is we have 609 volunteers that
contributed 28,056 hours of service. Next Monday night we are
going to have our recognition dinner and I know some of you
are probably planning on being, there. Just that little
information. I appreciate your attention and I hope you enjoy

Horow/ Thank you very much. Before we continue I have to
apologize, not to the Senior Center. But I was going to

Lee siglin/ 618 North Gilbert street. I came tonight basically to
just talk about the garden. It has been my garden that has
been the subject of some controversy over the last week. I
have lived at that place, I rent and lived there for the past
ten years. I started gardening probably about 7-8 years ago
and I started the easement garden probably about 6-7 years
ago, basically when I ran out of room in the rest of the yard.
Anybody that has been past that yard knows it is like carpeted
with flowers, Basically I do the gardening because it is
therapeutic for me. I like working in the dirt. It helps to
keep me grounded. It helps me to think about things and put
things in perspective which seems like, I felt anyway, that
this thing has sort of gotten out of perspective, It was
never my intention in creating that garden to cause, you know,
a public hazard or you know a safety hazard to anybody. I
mean if that is what people think it is like it is the
farthest thing from my mind. I basically did it because I
like to do that and it is a source of enjoyment not only for
me but for blocks around. It has been on many tour groups you
know that have gone through there. It has been in the
newspaper, it has been in the Iowa City magazine. It was sort
of unfathomable to me when I received this notice from the
city that it had become sort of a public nuisance or
pestilence. And so basically it sort of made me sick to me
stomach on the idea that it was all going to be cut down, It
seems pretty threatening to me so I was really really angry at
first and could not understand why it had been broached in
this manner. I came tonight again to say I think there is a
problem there but myself I feel it is more of a problem of the
cars being parked up and down the street. I don't know if
anybody saw the article in the paper on Friday. But I would
like to kiss Scott Norris for that photograph because it
clearly shows that at the mouth of the alley the red car
parked right at the end of the alley and my friends have
pointed out to me and I didn't even think about it myself I
think I was so upset that in order to see around the bushes
you have to proceed at least 5-6 feet more beyond that to get
past the car to see what is happening. So, I mean maybe the
shrubbery is a bit of a problem but I have managed so far to
be able to see through that. I can't see through the cars.
The Forester did say too that it was a potentially dangerous

site, I went and checked with the Traffic Department or
Police Records and have records of accidents that have
occurred in the past two years and there is no you know
records to validate that thing, There was a wreck across the
alley from where I live and there is clearly no shrubbery
there except for trees that I assume the city has planted, And
that accident the person I think really didn't know how to
drive because they were trying to make a right turn out of the
alley and they hit a parked car on the other side of the
street. I have that the you know the accident report if
anybody would care to look at those. And I guess the only
other thing I have to say is I guess I don't think that I'm
beyond being reprimanded but I just think the \~ay it was
handled was like very threatening to me and I kept asking
myself if there was a problem I don't understand why somebody
couldn't corne to me and just ask me to do some trimming. Or
say you know Lee there's been a problem you know but to just
say the stuff has to be moved or we're mowing it to the ground
seemed a bit out of line to me. Also anybody that is a
perennial gardener and I have been doing this for at least the
past ten years knows that October is not really the prime time
to be moving a bunch of stuff around and basically the first
time restriction was two weeks. I think it was October 17 and
it was moved up to November 1 which gave me essentially four
days to move a seven year old garden because I work five days
a week and I average about 55 to 60 hours a day I mean a week
of work, So it didn't really seem it was really an option you
know it was going to have to be mowed down, To finish up here
I just want to thank everybody for taking the time to talk to
me on the phone and I think I tal](ed to everybody except Larry
and especially Karen who has done a lot of leg work on this
and you know she has fought really hard. And it was my
understanding the last time I talked to her that there was a
resolution being sought that would be acceptable to me and I
haven't heard anything since then. Thanks a lot.
KUbby/ Steve when will we be getting back to Lee.
Atkins/ I suspect Lee should receive correspondence in the next day
or two.
Horow/ Anyone else wish to address council.
Clara Oleson/ I have a question on that. This is an admirer of the
garden. Does that mean what is the resolution in the works.
Atkins/ We have a citizen's complaint that his garden obstructs the
view from the alley and it's a legitimate complaint, The
individual complaining asked whether there was permission to
use the r.o.w. and there was not. What I intend to do is send

a letter to Lee asking him to apply for formal permission to
utilize the public r.o,w. Then some sort of I don't know for
better word a regulated garden can be placed there that would
not obstruct the view from the alley. That's what he'll be
hearing in correspondence from me. In the meantime I've
instructed the department of HIS not to initiate the
enforcement action.
Oleson/ Is that the division that the forester's under.
Atkins/ No, The complaint originally came in to the Dept of HIS and
they sent Terry Robinson our forester out to look at it,
That's fairly common,
Oleson/ And what is the forester's role in this resolution if any,
Atkins/ I will probably ask him to view whether the species of
plants that might be there would become overgrown, What kind
of maintenance obligations Lee is going to have. Whether it's
going to obstruct the view from the alley. Other than that I
really don't know right now.
Kubby / But the forester's involved because he's the person who
gives permission to use the r.o,w. for plantings.
Oleson/ Yes I understand that. My concern is not to single out one
person because I understand like many city employees they are
probably overworked and understaffed. My understanding is that
there has been an expression of opinion about this place and
I would not want that to color a resolution which everyone
could live with here.
Atkins/ I'm sure judgements will be made but I assure you they will
be fair.
Nov/I'd like to assure you of that also. I spoke to Terry about it.
Oleson/ Let me just say that Lee's garden is extraordinarily
special and an opportunity like this comes very rarely for us
to kind of examine how systems work and obviously I think
everyone's very concerned that the system here worked exactly
in the reverse of the way that we wanted it to work. That we
want a place like this to be honored. We want a place like
this to be secure, We want the work that goes into creating
this beauty to be recognized so it can be emulated. And so we
want to look at a system which does not understand that, which
does not understand that which threatens which attempts to
destroy and which attempts to create insecurity. That's I
think what we want this wonderful experience to teach us and
examine and not just let it go by because the garden has

taught us many things of us who have looked at it and admired
it and grown because of that garden. I think once again we can
learn from the experience.
Throg/ Can I say something Clara, I completely agree with you. It's
a wonderful garden and I agree with the points that you made,
There's another aspect of it to I think, That is Lee contacted
six of us. I know I talked to him and it was real clear what
his concerns were. Last night in our work session when we
talked with steve Atkins and we said steve we want this worked
out so there is a resolution that allows Lee to keep a garden
there while also making sure it is not a hazard. There is a
sense that the system that part of the system is working
reasonably well too I think.
Horow/ But the system's compatible with city needs as well, Anyone
else who wishes to address council,
Rick Graf/ 628 Second Ave, We've run into this problem with Terry
Mr. Robinson a couple of times. Our situation is a little
different. We're actually on street corners and there
actually is city ordinances about height of plant material and
those things at corners for vision. I'm curious if there's
some ordinance pertaining to alleys. Is there really anything
that it actually says is there an ordinance that they have to
get a permit.
Atkins/ For the use of the r.o.w. Rick, Un-huh.
Graf/ okay. I wasn't aware of that. And my second point then would
be Mr. Robinson's strong arm tactics kind of authoritarian
position. He doesn't come in with much diplomacy and I think
that should be any city employee should be respectful of
ci tizens you know, We don I t need to be approached real
threatening.
Atkins/ Terry's not here to defend himself.
Grafl Yeah. I know. I'm here to speak up about that issue and those
are the two things I want you to consider. Thank you.
pigott/ Thanks for coming down Rick.
Horow/ Anybody else wish to address council.
Donald Engstrom/ I'm a long time resident here and I've got a
degree in horticulture. I do want to question the ability of
these judgements. There's been a history of this happening
around town for about four or five years and I really would
ask you to get an outside opinion of someone who actually has

horticultural experience. I believe the people involved are
trained in forestry and not familiar with perennial materials
woody or herbaceous. And a lot of the issues around this are
really coming from well a not very well informed about plant
materials. And I've examined the site myself and it appears to
me to the primary problem is parking not plant materials,
Thank you.
Horow/ Anyone else care to address council.
Mike Woodhouse/ I'm a lifetime resident of Iowa city, The reason
I'm down here is because the article I saw in tonight's paper
concerning the water plant. The way that it is we're going to
try to pay for it now I think would be extremely devastating
economically to some families in this town. And I would just
like to I know the work session or p,h. isn't until Nov 8 but
I would like the council to at least start thinking about the
possibility of having a referendum for a local sales tax to
pay for it, I think that would be a much less painless way to
do this. I think it especially if we could get the city of
Coralville to go along.
Horow/ Why would Coralville go along with our water.
Woodhouse/ Well because maybe the EPA at some point is going to
come in and tell them they're going to have to build one. We
have one of the greatest sources of revenue in the midwest and
it's four blocks away. Thousands and thousands of people come
to Iowa City every year to attend functions at the University
of Iowa whether it's a play or football game whatever. think
that would be at least let the council consider a referendum
for that. Every business in town when water rates are raised
are going to have to absorb the cost. Every business that uses
water whether it's restaurant a hospital people who pay their
rent now and have their landlord pay their rent can expect
their rent to really go up. The city'S going to have to charge
more for people to go swimming at the pool. I guess I was just
hoping that maybe the council would at least think about it
because when you're dealing with this much money maybe people
should have a say in how they're going to pay for it.
Horow/ I'd like to ask Mr. Atkins if the use of a sales tax is
possible for payment of bond,
Atkins/ Yes, It's general revenue to the city and you have the
authority to do that.
Woodhouse/ The reason I brought that up was because this way you
know it might be less painless and we could get help to pay
for it. And maybe it would go so good that at some point in

time the city wouldn't have to send out a water bill. Just
think about that. At 29 cents a letter and thousands of
letters every two months think of the money that would save
alone. I guess that's really all I have to say. The only other
thing I had to ask is were there bonuses given to city
officials last year at the end of the year, An added bonus.
Horow/ No.
Woodhouse/ I just thought I read in the paper where there was.
Kubby / Last fiscal year there were bonuses for three appointed
officials,
Horow/ Not city employees,
Woodhouse/ Not city employees. Oh. Okay. That's all I need to ask.
thank you,
Horow/ Anybody else care to address council,
Wayne Drash/ 420 E. Jefferson. I was just wondering if in light of
the recent tragedy at the Burlington Dam if any sort of
warning signs or anything's going to be posted to let people
know there is a hazard there.
Horow/ Mr. Drash this evening before this council meeting we met
with your student representative from the student senate and
this issue came up. The discussion about the ability for the
city to protect every site of potential problem is almost
impossible, We have to protect based on predicted accidents.
A statistically significant situations. Those that are
unpredictable that are not of a normal variety it's
impossible.
Drash/ Even though two people die in the last,
Horow / But you've got different ways. I mean the river is a
dangerous place.
Drash/ But there's not even a sign there that says the dam's there.
Kubby/ I recently spoke with Larry Wilson from the University and
they're looking at the river. How to entice people to be
around the river on trails but also make sure that it's a safe
place. And part of that whole discussion includes some
additional warning signs that say Dam ahead Be careful no
swimming or be careful in a boat stay away from this part of
the river. So there are some discussions with university on
their property possibly putting some warning signs. We do have

some I don't know if it's wire or rope or chain that's hanging
so if someone does get too close they have an opportunity to
try to reach for something at the last minute and the
combination of those two things may be what do with this,

University of Iowa that you would like to see some physical
signs by the river.

Horow/ (#5a)
Dee Vanderhoef / I have been working on this neighborhood open
space,
Horow/ Move that mic down a little farther.
Vanderhoef/ Committee plan for three years so I must say Ilm
delighted to be here tonight. For a little update lid like to
be sure that the public understands the difference between the
plan and the ordinance, A little history on the plan goes back
to the late '70's when the first plan was talked about and the
citizens got involved in wanting open space for neighborhood
parks, The committee was reconvened in '85 for a little update
and ultimately it was put into the city comprehensive plan in
'89. Three years ago this present committee convened and it
consisted of John Watson president of Parks and Rec at that
time, and myself, and Casey Cook, and Ann Bovbjerg from P/Z
Commission along with staff help our wonderful helper Melody
Rockwell. Since that time John Watson and Casey Cook have left
their commissions but have stayed onto the committee and we
have had Deb Liddell come on from Parks and Recreation and
Jane Jacobson came on to assist us from P/Z. The plan
ultimately was adopted by you the councilors in July of 1993.
Since that time this committee has worked to put together the
ordinance that will implement that plan. And welre here
tonight to talk about the ordinance, The plan is already in
place. I'd like to start out just reading the purpose of this
ordinance. (Reads purpose) As a committee we looked at the
park system and tried to come up with a recreational system
that created an infrastructure as we would have a water plan.
We would have a sewer plan. As we have streets, That this is
something that our residents should expect in their
neighborhoods, It's something that we can plan ahead for and
provide for them as the city grows using this plan we have the
opportunity to place the parkland, the open spaces in areas
where it will be accessible. It will be useable. It will have
a size and shape, We're talking about 3-7 acre areas. We're
talking about using any kind of infrastructure easements that
we have. We can use the sewer easements. We can use water
easements. Those things to connect our spaces. We can connect
them to our schools and to our little local retail areas. The
plan has a formula that describes and figures exactly how much
land is needed in a given area. We have a map over here on the
wall, I see it still says open space proposal. I think weill
update that the plan itself. When we looked at the city itself
we divided it out into watersheds. And within those watersheds
then we had devised neighborhoods and the neighborhoods are
bounded by natural barriers so obviously a neighborhood will
not jump across major streets. It's not going to jump across

rivers and things like that. within each neighborhood we
calculated the amount of open space the city presently owns
and using the formula and the requirement of three acres of
open space per 1000 population we came up with an acreage for
each neighborhood, When we get into those neighborhoods we're
talking that we want them accessible by foot or by bicycle for
the paths. We want them strategically located so that a
roughly 1/2 a mile would be maximum for anyone who's going to
use it, When we're talking about our developing neighborhoods
we're talking about choosing through a comprehensive plan and
action plan that we're putting together presently and will be
most helpful for using for priorities when Parks and
Recreation gets to the point of buying or requesting land or
money in lieu of land. The land that we want is for active
useable space so we're talking about space that is dry. We're
talking about it being above where we can plan on using it on
a regular basis. We're talking about having this in a size and
shape that you can go out and play frisbee. You can go out and
throw a ball around and have a pickup game. We're not talking
about major sports facilities. We're talking about these
greenways where if you want to jog whether you want to bicycle
or whether you wanted to stroll. These areas are all going to
count towards this three acres/1000. In some areas there is
the possibility of using even the dry bottom detention basins
will be used. To make possible some negotiation and to
encourage a dedication of some the more fragile lands, we have
asked for 90% of this land to be of the unfragile types of
land, We will accept in the additional 10% in those areas and
encourage developers to give us more that is adjacent to our
park areas. We're not asking to have little fragile pieces of
a 1/2 acre here or a 1/2 acre there. That does not serve
either the city or the public. We want it contiguous land that
we can use all together and maintain all together. The
mechanism to pay is spelled out in the ordinance. There's a
formula that will figure it out exactly what each person's
share is depending on the size of their development within a
neighborhood the city staff has looked at it and has worked
out a way that they can address this they can be sure that
they can be sure that the monies dedicated will be used for
the area that it was intended, And we are very clear that we
are not getting on land on one side of the city to be or
money given on one side of the city should I say and have it
used over on the other side. It must be used within the area
where it was received.

Horow/ Can you corne to a closure on this pretty soon,
Vanderhoef/ I can. One of the concerns that we have heard most
often is the cost of this land and what it will do for
affordable housing, And through our formulas we have come up
with the plan and we know an'i we feel that it is very
affordable and we feel that it is very cheap. And we've asked
staff to put together some numbers and to provide that
information for the public. And thank you for your attention.
Throg/ May I ask a brief question. Or you were going to,
Kubby/ Yeah. Is this outline that we got with some specific
subdivisions that have gone through a kind of voluntary
dedication of land or fees in lieu of parkland on the table
or is it somewhere in this room so people can look at it
tonight. Are there copies available.

Rockwell/(Can't hear)
Kubby/ Maybe you could outline like the high end and the low end
amounts per person or per lot. Is that okay Sue.
Rockwell/ I think quite a few numbers bantered about how much this
is going to cost and I tried to use some examples of
subdivisions that we have had in the community and if you
strictly applied the formula how much it would be per dwelling
unit and per person to provide Neighborhood Open Space and you
can see for the South Point Subdivision it would come out they
would be required to dedicate 1.09 acres or pay $7,630 if the
formula was strictly used and that would be $48,91 per
dwelling unit of $20.90 per person and what actually happened
was the development had 130 lots and these can be lots for
duplexes so there may be more than one unit per lot and that
came out-they paid $7,000 instead of giving any land for open
space and it came out to $53.84 per lot, Whispering Meadows
which you are aware of and all of this has occurred without
the benefit of having an ordinance but if you followed the
formula strictly they would be required to dedicate 2.26
acres and they were able to really give 3.75 acres of usable
open space and over on the wall is a plan of that woodlands
park and the area that is shown in green is the high ground
usable space, open space. The yellow would be the pathways.
The pink is also high ground but it is so scattered in linear
in quality that we didn't count that. Not even counting that
they were able to provide much more than the 90% of usable
open space that would have been required in conjunction with
the woodlands area. Galway Hills and Longfellow Manor you
went over last night, Again I calculated strictly using the
formula and then what actually happened. with Galway Hills

they would have been required to dedicate 2.28 acres. They
have offered to dedicate 6 acres in conjunction-a linear
parkway along willow Creek. A similar thing happened with
Longfellow Manor and as it was pointed out, Longfellow Manor
probably isn't the best example, It is sort of an aberration
than an example. But even there we were able to provide open
space above and beyond what would have been required in
conjunction with the natural system.
Horow/ okay, Thank you, Melody. Question, Jim.
Throg/ I would like to invite Dee and any of the other committee
members, it doesn't matter much to me which one, I would like
you to state the obvious
CHANGE TAPE TO REEL 94-120 SIDE 1
(-"
\
Deb Liddell/ I am a member of the P/R Commission and came at this
from a couple of different avenues. From the Trails group that
got together a few years ago to revise the Iowa River Corridor
Plan and also as an appointee of the P /R Commission to the NOS
Ordinance Committee. One of the things that really struck me
when I moved to Iowa city with my family was the
distinguishing characteristics of neighborhoods in Iowa city.
I think this is what people want when they move here. That
they can walk to a school, That they can walk to a park and
this is something that provides a unifying personality trait,
I think, for Iowa City. We have heard repeatedly before the
council about the demands that growth is going to place on the
infrastructure in Iowa city and I think that this is one way
and probably the best way to come at this. I think our parks
have to be preserved. We are only going to have more people
moving into them, I think it is a nice overlay in terms of
preserving the integrity of neighborhoods which seems to be
important to people, But most importantly I think it provides
a safe place for children and I think will really attract and
meet the needs of a wide variety of people that live here.
One of the things that I would like to say about the process
that was used here is that this is not a special interest
group. Nobody has got any particular ax to grind or issue to
push. I was appointed to the vision committee that looked at
neighborhood parks and open space and there right aft
affordability and accessibility was the implementation of the
NOS Plan. This was a citizen group which came with no
memberships attached to it. And came of its own energy to
this place which mandates that we have to have a NOS Plan in
order to maintain the integrity of our P/R infrastructure. So
I would like to underscore the importance of that and would
like to see that come to fruition.

Horow/ Anyone else care to address council on the p.h, on the NOS.
Harvey Wehde/ 2408 Whispering prairie, Iowa city. The funds and
personnel costs to adequately maintain new parks and trails
should have been included in the NOS draft. Where are these
funds going to come from, Who is going to pay for them. Iowa
city cannot maintain the parks and trails it now has
adequately, Ilm the co-founder of an organization called
Concerned taxpayers of Johnson county. We feel city government
needs to operate more like a business realizing money doesn't
grow on trees. Iowa City has the least affordable housing in
the state. High taxes, parking fees, city administration
monstrosities, regulations ordinances, and now more funds and
personnel to adequately maintain new parks acquired through
the neighborhood open space ordinance. Within the last year
since the present city council has taken over, Iowa City has
put itself in a dangerous position, All areas around Iowa city
are starting to boom. Home owners, business owners, general
contractors, and developers are starting to realize that it is
not worth living in Iowa city when you can live outside of
Iowa city for less money, You don't have to put up with all
the ridiculous rules regulations and Iowa city administrative
nightmares. In closing I want to emphasize to the council
before it gets out of control that you realize what is
happening out there in the real world. In business you have to
stay competitive to survive, Iowa city is walking on a tight
rope and if the city is not careful it is going to fall.
That's what I have. I have copies and also articles that I
would like to present to the council and I would like the
council to sincerely realizing what is happening out here in
the Iowa city area and the surrounding Iowa City area so you
'can continue to have tax money that will pay for the things
that you want to accomplish if that tax money doesn't come in
we're not going to be able to accomplish anything and we will
have the problems that we have with the United States
government today. And that's called debt. Thank you,
Horow/ Thank you.
Throg/ lid like to ask a question.
Wehde/ Sure.
Throg/ I want to make sure that I understood you correctly, So tell
me if I misunderstood. What I heard you say is that our
requiring developers to provide or contribute fees to provide
parks and open space for neighborhoods is ridiculous,
Wehde/ It is not ridiculous.

Throg/ will you clarify for me. It's my misunderstanding.
Wehde/ It is not ridiculous. I think it is needed in Iowa city. I
think it is being done the wrong way. But before you come up
with an ordinance, you should have the funds and personnel
costs to adequately maintain the parks and trails should have
been included in the ordinance. And the tax payers should know
how the money is going to be spent to maintain these things
that cannot even be maintained now and are already here. I
live out in Whispering prairie and I walk through the woodland
area where I live right on the corner with Karen and Joe
Bohlkum, And I enjoy that area. I walk through it, I bike
through it. I mountain Bike through it. I go through it with
the kids. My concern when I walk through it is the maintenance
of it. I see problems. It's not completed yet. I see
maintenance problems already that are there, It's just going
to be a big problem and it's going to cost the taxpayer a lot
of money. I want these things but I want to be sure that the
taxpayer has it in the funds before something like this is put
together. And then they come to tell you that now I want you
to adequately maintain new parks and trails and make sure that
we have the money to do so, Where is this money coming from.
We should have known where this money is coming from the funds
that were put into this ordinance to pay for these things
before it got to this point to put pressure on you people to
all of a sudden say where are we going to take from now to get
this money, Too much of this has been happening, The taxpayers
are getting to the point where they have about had it. So I
want these things that you are talking about. But the way
we're going about doing it is getting to the point where it's
almost getting to the point where it's going to have to have
a revolution in Iowa city if these money things aren't getting
under control and operated like a business not like politics.
I hope that answers you,
Throg/ Thank you.
Gentry / I have a clarif ication if you don't mind, The question
about why the operation costs were not included in the
ordinance is that because that's not permitted under
constitutional law as the US Supreme Court has stated. You can
only include the capital infrastructure improvements of the
park itself not the maintenance. Your point about the
maintenance has to be direct of course is another matter.
Wehde/ I just wanted to state my opinion so when this comes down
the road in another six months or a year you've heard what
I've said and what's happening has happened in Iowa city.
Horow/ Thank you. Anybody else care to address council.

Bruce Glasgow/ No place to sign in, huh.
Horow/ We have to get you to sign in.
Glasgow/ My name is Bruce Glasgow,
Horow/ wait just one minute, Did someone walk away with the
signatures.
Karr/ Bruce look right under there. There's probably an extra one.
Glasgow/ Two of them,
Karr/ Great,
Glasgow/ I'll be the first,
Karr/ No. There1s the other one.
Glasgow/ Do you want me to sign this one too, Get that out of the
way, We were talking about parkland dedication, I want to
bring in affordable housing with it because parkland
dedication is another cost that is going to raise the cost of
affordable housing. We read a lot about this affordable
housing, A UNI professor took it upon himself to rank the
housing affordability in Iowa and Muscatine ranked first. I
don't know if that's good or bad. Iowa City ranked 23rd. So if
you need a house in Muscatine you can get it a little bit
easier than in Iowa, The basis of this thing was the amount
the family earned and the cost of housing. The cost of housing
was an average cost. It's an average. If Iowa city had the run
down neighborhoods that exist in other towns we would probably
increase our standing in the ratings. However Iowa city
doesn1t have slums that drag down that cost of housing.Not yet
we don't. 1000 trailer sites south of the K-Mart will probably
bring our ratings way up. Housing costs and lot costs have
risen in Iowa city. I have a separate report here on some of
the items. It took a whole page and my five minutes will
expire before I can get to them but let me just give you one
or two. We have a requirement in Iowa city that the basements
must be insulated. Average cost $700, That homeowner couldn't
recover his cost in energy savings if he lived in that cost
for 70 years. Another one we have is an escape hatch in each
basement, That means you have a window well big enough for the
housing inspector to call through to get outside. That1s $300.
I have a whole page of those. All of these little things you
don't have to do in other towns. In other communities. So
housing costs have risen and that's part of our affordable
housing predicament I suppose. This neighborhood open space
ordinance in my opinion is going to cost $1800 to $3000 a lot,

I'd be very happy to pay your 37.50 or whatever that is and in
fact I III give you $100 a lot, Each open space in the
subdivision ins the equivalent of a developed lot. Most of our
developed lots in where I develop are about 10,000 sq ft.
That's a quarter of an acre. I don't know, I didn't figure
you're formula but this open space is going to have a street
and have a sewer and have a water main. Itls going to have all
the engineering costs, storm water detention costs, the legal
costs, the sidewalks, the abstracting costs, and whatever
developing costs are there. Now if you have a 25 lot
subdi vision the park requirement would be about 10,000 sq. ft,
this is equal to one developed lot. If that lot is worth
$40,000 all you have to do is divide 24 into $40,000 cause you
just lost one lot and YOU'll find out what it costs, You just
lost that much money, If open space or cash is required and I
like that last one if cash is required the council should make
that decision before the subdivision process not after the
process, The developer should have the option to make a
donation to park development fund and it should be a set
amount. Let's figure it out, In this method the landowner
would know how much to add to the price of the lot and the
homeowner who buys the lot would know the cost of parkland
acquisition, So much of affordable housing. We ask that you
put this land acquisition on the back burner for a while and
get with it on some of the real issues in the Iowa city, And
I have some reports here to give you. Question time.
Kubby/ Is what you're going to give us a listing of the building
code things that you think are not necessary.
Glasgow/ Right here.
Kubby/ That's great, Thank you.
Throg/ Could I ask Bruce.
Horow/ No I don't think so,
Throg/ Could I ask Bruce a question,
Horow/ Sure.
Throg/ lid like to ask you a question about affordable housing
Bruce since you brought it up. Correct me if I'm wrong about
this but I think on average nationwide the average size of a
new home has increased from about 1900 sq. ft. to about 2300
sq. ft. over the decade. Or there aborts, So but my point is
this many families need much smaller homes on the order of
1000-1200 sq. ft. or thereabouts. How many of those do you
build.

Glasgow/ None.
Throg/ Why not,
Glasgow/ There's no market for them,
Throg/ People need new homes that are affordable but there's no
market for 1200 sq, ft. homes.
Glasgow/ Not in my line.
Throg/ Thanks,
Horow/ Is there anyone else who would like to address council.
Richard Rhodes/ 2014 Rochester Avenue. I am a property tax paying
resident of Iowa City and i do strongly support this
ordinance. The only fault I find with the ordinance is that it
only allows for three acres for 1000 people. I feel this is
too small an amount of neighborhood open space to be allocated
in new subdivisions and I'll close it right there. Thank you
very much,

Horow/ Thank you.

Jerry Eyman/ 91 Heron circle. I listened to the conversation about
why the numbers were not included in the draft of this and
what I'm wondering is have the costs has there been a cost
feasibility on this thing been done, Has city staff looked at
what this is going to cost. Should I direct that to city
manager. Has city staff looked at the cost of implementing
this ordinance, I know you've addressed the issue of the land
and if you're given the land then what's it going to cost once
the land is given to the park situation. To administer it and
maintain that land and what kind of budget is there. has
anybody looked at that.
Horow / We discussed this last night and there are two ways of
looking at it. Number 1 some of the money will come from money
in lieu of land. Some of the land will come as land in the
area a when it's being divided. other amounts of money would
come from money being given in lieu of the land.

Jerry Eyman/ They'll use the money to run the program.

Jerry Eyman/ Assuming you have the land,
Horow/ That's right. Then you look at the type of park whether it
is specifically in one area or if it's connected and the
maintenance of that park. It comes from the general property
tax because you expect more people to use those parks than
just live in the general vicinity, In other words it's spread
among the whole city,
Jerry Eyman/ What is that cost. Has someone looked at this city and
tried to determine what implementing this ordinance is going
to cost those of us who live in the city in the future.
Kubby / In terms of maintenance cost we haven't looked into specific
figures.
NOV/ We don't have a cost per acre for park maintenance do we.
Atkins/ Yes we do,
Atkins/ We do. Okay. Do you know what it is.
Atkins/ No I don't know what the number is but we maintain about
750 plus acres and you can draw extrapolate those numbers
rather easily. Remember this is something and ordinance such
as this what's the likely increase in acreage inventory in any
particular given year. All those factors have to fit in there,
Yes we can calculate that.

Jerry Eyman/ But typically don't when you enact an ordinance to fix

to go up to,
Kubby/ We could figure out how much it's going to cost us next year
if we got ten acres of new parkland.
Jerry Eyman/ Right. Whatever you project that you're going to pick
up in parkland surely someone has sit down and look at that.
What's this going to cost the citizens in tax money. It's
inconceivable that you could pass an ordinance without knowing
what the dollars are going to be because YOUire going to have

consequence of development occurring and so there will be new
development that will be generating new taxes. in answer to
Jerry's question,
pigott/ In other words revenue will come in with new development
which will.
Franklin/ You don't get the parkland until the development occurs.
Pigott/ Over 50% of the units are developed.

Horow/ (#5c) Declare the p,h, open and continued.
Mark Brauer/ HyVee Food stores. We have executed our agreement. So
we are legal. We request that the p.h, be concluded at the
appropriate time as deemed by this committee/council and that
the readings proceed on a normal schedule, The only thing
that has happened since the informal is that staff is
proceeding with inquiring with Crandic Railroad as to the
permit and our only caveat if we could ask is prior to an
action of the final reading that we get an update as to where
that is at to make sure that we have a viable agreement.

Kubby / I wanted to ask if HyVee has considered approaching the
Board of Adjustment about doing some shared parking or if the
corporate formula for the square footage of the store, you
want to maintain the current amount.
:i
I
Brauer/ Not at this point. We have the vacation issue to resolve
next which will becoming before this body and what we would
like to do is get all the pieces to the puzzle put together
and once this happens we have to get into an arrangement with
vacating our existing premises and finding new users and
really until we get all of those things defined, anything I
would say would be premature.

6 per 1,000. What we have shown meets that ratio right now.
We would like to stay with where we are at. 'If there is a way
to work it out we will try to work it out,

Kubby/ You know I don't usually vote for annexations unless there
is an issue of affordable housing being brought into this city
or an environmental issue. I am going to be voting for this
although small annexation. It is going to finish out kind of
a city block actually in the long run and will prevent one
septic tank from being put in adjacent to city property, I
will be voting for this.

rezoning. Because there was already a house on this and we
ordinarily do not annex land that already started
construction, we did put in the condition that the residents
there meet all city building codes and it is part of the

Kubby/ I am not one usually to want to have more smoke stacks in
town but there are three things that I wanted to say. l-That
I think it is a good service to provide to people because it
creates another option for a more affordable kind of funeral
for somebody and 2-in order for a funeral hom~ to be allowed
to do this they have to go to the Board of Adjustment and we
made a change to the ordinance that said that the Board of
Adjustment could put additional conditions on how this is done
and that means that neighborhoods or people in the community
can get involved in the process, each situation by each
situation. So I am real glad of that and will be supporting
this ordinance.
Horow/ Any other discussion. Roll call-(yes). The ordinance passes

Horow/ This time we have been asked to defer because the landowners

Comment: This public hearing is continued from the September 13, 1994
meeting. Council requested that language in Section 2-5, relating to
registration fees and certified copy fees for domestic partnership, be revised
to delete the reference to specific fee amounts and to provide instead that
such fees will be determined by resolution of the City Council. Section 2-52
has been revised accordingly. (See attached revised pages 36 and 37.) The
Human Rights Commission also considered requests by two Councilmembers
to review other aspects of the ordinance. A copy of a draft of the minutes of
the Commission's meeting of September 26, 1994, at which those issues
were discussed, is included in Council's agenda packet.

'.,:
Alison Ames Galstad/ Chair of the HR Commission. I just wanted to
respond briefly to the proposals the Commission received
regarding the ordinance revision. The Commission has
considered Council member Kubby I s proposal that familial
status be listed as a protected class on all occasions that
marital status is listed. The definition of familial status
in our ordinance is taken from the Fair Housing Act and is
used primarily in the Fair Housing section of this ordinance,
As the definition reads it is aimed at protecting the rights
of individuals under the age of 18 in various family
si tuations. It didn't seemed necessary to extend this to
other portions of the ordinance because such discrimination
that might occur was already covered by some other mechanism
of the law. We also felt that making a major global change
like that in the ordinance without due consideration to all of
the possible scenarios might threaten the integrity of the
ordinance as it stands. The Commission feels that it is in
the best interest of the city and the community at large to
pass the ordinance as it stands and we course have the option
of proposing amendments at any time in the future should it
become apparent that protected classes need to be broadened in
given areas of the ordinance and that is something that we'll
be very attentive to monitoring.

Kubby/ I thank the Commission for considering that change and an
explanation of why.
Galsteadj Thank you for proposing it. We had a good discussion
about it at the meeting. The Commission has asked Ann
Burnside and Heather Shank to work out the work of other
proposals, proposed changes, which were not substantive but
were rather largely grammatical. And that is all I have.

1.
Nov/ We thought it was.
Karr / I had requested consideration of January 1 to allow just
administrative set up for the applications and for-
KUbby/ You mean for the registry, to get ready to-
Karr/ Yes, thank you, because it is effective on publication and
quite frankly I did not do any preliminary preparation after
the p.h. is closed on this. So I would like-
Nov/ Linda, can we do this. Can we amend that date on the moment,
Gentry/ Yes, I don't find that to be-Did you not talk about that.
Alison Hynes Galstead/ Would it be possible that the ordinance
could go into effect immediately as would be the regular case
except for possibly the domestic partnership section of it
which is the section that requires due time for putting the
administrative things in motion. Is it possible to break it
up like that. I think the Commission is anxious to see this
get rolling, especially the housing portion of it.
Baker/ I don't see a problem with keeping the present date.
Gentry/ It is up to you all. I wouldn't break it up. Either do it
now or give it a month or so.
Kubby / It will be six weeks before this is passed finally. six
weeks isn't enough you are telling us.
Karr/ I don't know. I haven't contacted any staff yet. As I said,
I was waiting for the p.h. to close on this before we did it.
Kubby/ The contacts-
Karr/ We would like to put the registry on computer so we have the
lists available. We would like to just go through the
applications with the proper city Attorney staff and other
interested individuals.
Pigott/ So setting up the mechanism for implementation,
Karr/ Certainly, yes. I have had no dialogue at all with-

Baker six weeks seems like-
NoV/
It wouldn't be six weeks. It would be four weeks from now
that we do the third reading and then probably six weeks
before it is published. It is published six days after you
pass it. The following Wednesday is publication, It would be
effective the-
Nov/ It would be about five weeks.
Karr/ Correct.
Nov/ At the time it is published and you feel that this is not-
Karr/ If council would like to proceed with it we will certainly do
our best to do it. I just can't assure you until we do it,
Horow/ Why don't we try it. Let's keep the date and go with it.
So it would be effective as of what date.
Nov/ As published, That is the way it was written.
Gentry/ Upon publication.
Horow/ okay. Roll call-
KUbby/ Can we have our discussion, I guess I want to say a few
things. This is a really big revision to the ordinance. Very
important revision to the ordinance and I guess I want to
thank staff and Commission, I know you have been working on
this for a long time and that as volunteers for the city you
don't always get appreciated very much and that the time that
you put into this is very much appreciated by me and I am sure
by all council. I am very glad about the domestic partnership
section of this as well as making sure that we are jiving with
the Fair Housing Act. I think that Iowa city will be better
protected. It will be easier for them to make complaints and
have reconciliation than before. It was bad before but it
will be even more smooth and more people will be protected.
I thank you.
Baker/ I also want to echo that. For those in the public that have
not followed this issue there are three major parts: partner
registry, extending the review power of the Commission over
education and housing. Those are significant changes. As
Karen said-
CHANGE TAPE TO REEL 94-120 SIDE 2

Horow/ (#10) city council Information.
Baker/ Oh, I am glad you started with me, Sue. I appreciate-it is
9: 15, we have been going almost two hours. I am sure you
voice is getting very very tired so I brought you a present
tonight to set right in front.
Horow/ Tacky, tacky, tacky. It is tacky and it is probably hot.
Baker/ I think it will look right in front of you, Sue.
Pigott/ You must explain this joke, Larry.
Baker/ This is a private council joke.
Horow/ Tacky.
Throg/ All you going to knock that off for us.
Baker/ Shake it up and open it. Sue doesn't think we sometimes have
the P!oper public image of decorum here. It is here for you.
Horow/ Thank you very much I appreciate it. My daughter appreciates
that. My husband, the two cats. Thank you very much.
Baker/ Every week I am going to bring you a quart jug. I wanted to
say something about our meeting tonight with Student
Government leaders. I was very pleased to see the turn out
that we got there. Several dozen people and a lot of good
issues covered and I am sure we could probably do something
like this on a regular basis once a year. But I talked to
some of the people after that meeting and told them by the
very fact that they are involved with student government they
understand the process is very frustrating because it is like
things that seem self evidently true ought to be corrected
immediately, that it is going to take a lot of follow up. And
John Lohman, the president of the student body talked to me
afterwards and if he and I could get together in a couple of
weeks and set up some sort of procedure for following through
on some of the issues and I told him I would talk with you all
and make sure it is okay. We will sit down and talk with John
and try and see if some of those things can be worked out. So
I just wanted to talk about that. I have a, this is not really
a first glance a frivolous request. But I am wondering when
we get these packets every two weeks is there something you
people just don I t look at on a consistent basis. In other
words I am just wondering if we need to have packets this big.
Kubby/ You mean they intimidate you.

Baker/ There are things that just don't get looked at that are
available that I can find.
Kubby/ The liens, the promissory notes,
Baker/ The promissory notes, the expenditures for the city.
KUbby/ You don't read those line by line.
Baker/ I only look if my name is in there. You know, there is a lot
of stuff that you definitely want to get every week. The
minutes from all of the Commission meetings, for example,
stuff like that. I was just wondering if there was an
experiment that we could do where we all separate stuff that
we don't think we need to have,
Pigott/ That is a good idea. In theory it is anyway, In practice
this council has been one to asks to defend the city staff for
information a lot, As it should, I believe. So part of that
is our asking,
Baker/ I was just wondering if maybe the staff would have a list of
things that are available to us if we want information we
could-
Pigott/ The funny thing is the minute we do we-
Baker/ Sure, but I have a feeling if we really let the staff do it
these things would be a lot thicker.
Horow/ I don't believe that. Left to our own devices they would be
much bigger because we would ask the staff for more material.
Baker/ So what I am sensing here is that you are just going to
leave it alone,
Horoil/ Right.
Kubby/ I am willing to do the experiment.
Horow/ I am not because I read this stuff.
Kubby/ You read every lien.
Horow / I can I t say I read every lien but I probably don't read
every single item that we payout in terms of expenses.
Sometimes I do.
Throg/ The long lists of numbers I don't usually read.

Nov / I don't usually read long lists of numbers and I have
requested second sheets that include just a blank for a notary
to be signed be not sent to us. We don't always conform to
those kinds of things. Second pages with just lists of
council names, we don't record those votes on those lists,
Marian can add those afterwards if she does. So, there has
been requests to reduce these kinds of things and they have
been done, I telling you that they use to be worse.
Horow/ Larry, we are responsible for having read this material
because we adopt it in our consent calendar.
Baker/ And we all do, But I would say there are lots of things in
the packet that aren't on the Consent Calendar that perhaps we
might not all need at once. Just thought I would bring it up.
I don't want to mislead the public. We religiously read this
stuff.
Kubby/ That is how it has been every other weekend.
Nov/ Right, we do.

Pigott/ Two things, First, as we all know the Hospice Road Race is
coming up and I was pushed by someone else who said the
Hospice people are looking for finish line volunteers and to
contact Sherri King if you are interested in helping out on
race day with the Hospice Road Race, It is a great time, all
the community is involved and so it would be terrific to see
people volunteer to help, It is an early morning race so
people would be required to be there before 7:00 a.m, But if
you are interested please call Sherri King, I think her number
is listed in the phone book, And the second thing I wanted to
mention was that over the past week I was out of town on
business which is why I wasn It at the last council meeting and
that is not the main point but a point. The main points that
it was just wonderful to get back from Washington D.C, to a
lovely community. And part of the thing that reminded me that
we live in such a great community was the fact that I attended
a meeting of a local organization of which I am a member,
E.A., and on a late night a member of the staff of JCCOG was
down there talking to a small group of people about bike paths
in town and I thought it was really nice that he took time out
of his schedule, I am talking about Charlie Denney, to come
down and inform the public about it. I just wanted to say I
think staff does a great job when requested to come and inform
people about what we are doing and I really appreciate that.
And it is part of what makes this community great. Thank you.
Nov/ We had a very active public discussion this morning on
transportation issues. The IDOT was here in town. I came and

listened for awhile, People showed up from all over the state
and told them what they thought about roads and other
transportation issues. And this room was filled with people.
And not all of them spoke but they all came to show the
Transportation Commission that they cared, Very good turn
out. Also I would like to urge the public to participate in
the city step process. I am going to read the dates and times
and issues and these are all opportunities for the public to
put in their two cents and we need public participation.
There will be city staff and CCN members listening to this
discussion so they can write a document which meets the HUD
requirements. On October 19 at 12:00 PM they will listen to
comment on housing needs at the I.C,P,L. October 20, 7:00 PM
they will be at the Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood Center
discussing various issues, a variety of topics. On October 27
at 12:00 PM they will listen to comments on homeless needs at
the LC.P.L. November 1, 12:00 PM they will talk about
community development needs in the First National Bank Atrium.
All of the meetings that are at noon will have beverages
provided and everybody should bring a sack lunch and plan on
eating along with the discussion. On November 3, 7:00 PM they
will be at the Broadway Neighborhood Center with a general
discussion. Also November 3, 7:00 PM, there will be a
discussion of housing and community development at the
I.C.P.L. Please, everybody try to participate.
Throg/ I think it has the potential to be a very interesting
program and I am really curious to see how it goes over time.

KUbby/ At our last council meeting we gave the Finance Director Don
Yucuis power to restructure some of our sewer revenue bonds in
the hopes of saving great amounts of money and he found a good
time to do that and we have a net cash increase of $235,000 in
our sewer revenue refunding, So I want to thank him for
finding a good time, It is good to know that we are always
finding ways to save money. People don't always know that we
do that once in a while. We do do that.
Nov/ And Don is particularly good at this,

KUbby/ This is also the season for political signs of every kind of

am sure that it is not because of any direction from any
campaign and there is a lot of different campaigns out there
where I have seen signs that are in the public r.o,w. They
are in that area between the sidewalks and the streets. You
are not allowed to have political signs in that area. So if

Thanks.
Lehman/ As we all know we are renegotiating our SEATS contract with
the County and Susan and I as part of the council's
representatives attended a meeting two weeks ago with the
County, Coralville, whatever. This is the first step in our
negotiations. There seems to be some information out there
that is not only erroneous, it is really bad information. The
tone of that meeting and the result of that meeting was that
the county and the city will do whatever we can to make sure
the same quality of service that SEATS has been providing over
the years. Now all we are going to be talking about are
formulas in calculating our share of the costs, fair and
equitable cost, I would like those who are very concern about
service being reduced, employees not being there anymore-
forget it, We are planning absolutely no changes whatsoever.
We want to keep it just as good as it is.
Horow/ Thank you very much. I would like to add-Karen mentioned
the savings that Mr, Yucuis has realized on refunding of our
bonds, There is an article in the last issue of Time Magazine
talking about derivatives and how some municipalities have put
in mutual funds in which these derivative funds were part of
the fund package. I immediately called up Mr. Yucuis this
weekend and said Don, did we or didn't we. The answer is no.
I think that this city really should realize that our
employees in our financial section were conservative but we
are certainly also creative and very careful in terms of how
we manage the citizens money and I, for one, was pleasantly
pleased to see that we didn't have to worry about a problem
with derivatives because derivatives are essentially a junk
bond. The item that I would like to address this evening if
one of the cameras could switch to the leaf map on the wall.
As we all know this is leaf collection season and we all have
received maps through the mailing one way or the other as to
when the leaf pickup will be in your section of the city.
Folks I I am having people call me very distressed by the
amount of leaves that are being shoved into the gutter, into
the curbs, over the r.o,w. Please, as you know when your
leaves are going to be picked up I make sure the leaves stay in
the r.o.w. Don't put them in the streets. When you put them
in the streets they go into the storm sewers and they get
clogged up. So leaves are to stay on the r.o,w. This is a
service that we provide to the city. It is a fantastic
service. You just have to get the leaves out to the r.o.w.
But please don't put them out in the street.
Throg/ Can you clarify what the r.o.w. is.

Horow/ The r.o,w. is that area between the sidewalk and the street,
Nov/ And if you don't have a sidewalk, above the curb,
Horow/ Just don't put them in the street. There is an increasing
number of people who are putting the leaves and their grass
clippings into the street. Folks, it only goes into your
storm sewers and we have trouble keeping them clean,
Lehman/ Sue, we had a person killed in Iowa last year. A kid that
was playing in a leaf pile that was left in the street.
Horow/ That is right.

Gentry/ I have something. For those of you who think I am a
workaholic, I have a story to tell you otherwise. I am going
to be a celebrity chef Wednesday night at Season's Best on the

were to be established by resolution. This resolution was adopted by the
Parks and Recreation Commission on September 28, 1994. One substantive
change is the recommendation that all nine members be appointed by the

and the School Board designates one of its members to serve.

Neighborhood Open Space Ordinance. So, I will go along with
it,

We are announcing a vacancy. Does that go to the next meeting
or the one after or.

Nov/ 30 days. So it goes as far as November 22.
Karr/ Yes, that would be correct, November 22.
Horow/ All right. Any other discussion.
Pigott/ Yeah, last night we talked a little bit about having-We
talked about the School Board designates one of its members in
the past. I still like to encourage the School Board to
recruit someone from the area if not a school Board member,
Recommend an appointee to the council. I think that would be
really good, Jim mentioned.
Horow/ Would you like council to send a letter to the president of
the School Board,
Pigott/ I think that would be terrific if we would be willing.
Horow/ Great. All right. Any further discussion. Roll call-
